Temple of Mars, Roman temple near Circus Flaminius, Rome, Italy

The Temple of Mars featured columns made of white Luna marble from Carrara, measuring 17.8 meters in height with precise architectural proportions.

Consul Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus commissioned the construction of the temple in 138 BC using funds from his military campaign in Hispania.

The temple functioned as a center for military ceremonies and gatherings, reflecting the connection between Roman religious practices and warfare.

The temple remains are located in the Campus Martius district, near other significant Roman structures from the Republican period.

Architect Hermodorus of Salamis designed the temple with a combination of colored marble flooring, including yellow Numidian and purple Phrygian stones.
